Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You are stopped waiting to turn left across oncoming traffic. How should you hold the front wheels before you can safely turn?
A waits before a two-way intersection while B travels past in the opposite direction. There are two lanes in each direction on A’s approach.
Correct answer: Keep them straight until ready to make the turn.
Why
Keep the front wheels straight while waiting to turn left. If another vehicle strikes you from behind, this reduces the risk of being pushed into oncoming traffic. Begin steering into the turn only when the turn can be made safely.
